C421 Solitary Defeat
1"Brat, watch carefully. You will know that pill forging is not something that can be accomplished just by understanding a little theory!"
With a cold snort, Hu Chunlei arrogantly walked in front of the cauldron.
After taking the herbs required to concoct the "Spirit Concentrating Pill" from a nearby medicine rack, Hu Chunlei activated his True Qi with one hand and the furnace burned brightly in the blink of an eye.
"Buzz!"
Following the burning of the cauldron, the heat wave within the cauldron immediately rose, emitting waves of rumbling sounds.
Hu Chunlei, who was standing beside the pill furnace, seemed to be fearless against the boundless heat wave. He quietly waited for the temperature of the furnace to rise to the required level.
In the next moment, the fire in the furnace suddenly changed from red to red, and Hu Chunlei's eyes shone brightly!
"Pah!"
With a casual pat, a small gap appeared on the lid of the cauldron with a single slap.
As the black figure flashed, each medicinal herb was thrown into the furnace by Hu Chunlei in a sequence.
Moments later, the numerous medicinal plants that had been refined under high temperature emitted a unique medicinal fragrance.
"This, is pill forging?"
After witnessing Hu Chunlei's skillful pill refining skills, Chen Yu could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Although it was his first time seeing someone concoct pills, Chen Yu could still feel Hu Chunlei's extraordinary alchemy skills from his fluid movements.
It could be said that Hu Chunlei was an outstanding pill refiner.
Moreover, every single pill refinement had to have been thoroughly tempered.
Each step and movement seemed so pleasing to the eyes, and also contained traces of profoundness.
Chen Yu realized that it was just as Hu Chunlei had said. Relying on just theory, it was really difficult to refine pills.
Everything that Hu Chunlei did was completely different from what was written in the book.
It seemed that if he wanted to watch Hu Chunlei demonstrate to refine the pill, he could only think of other ways.
Thinking about it, Chen Yu started to mobilize the will of the Divine King.
A red light flashed in Chen Yu's eyes.
"See through!"
His eyes seemed to shoot out a bolt of lightning.
Chen Yu's eyes were staring straight at Hu Chunlei.
At this moment, on Hu Chunlei's body, every single detail, every single movement, could not escape Chen Yu's eyes!
At the side, the eyes of the two middle-aged men who were with Hu Chunlei, also flickered with excitement.
This was because they could see that Hu Chunlei's condition was excellent today, and the level of pill refinement he exhibited was nearing his peak condition!
"Lei Ge is mighty!"
"Brother Ley's technique is simply perfect!"
In their eyes, Hu Chunlei's pill cultivating methods were as accurate as a textbook.
Everything was done strictly according to the rules.
His pill refining movements appeared to be extremely fast, but there wasn't a single mistake.
"Aunt, what is Hu Chunlei's pill refining level?!" At the side, Yun Chang asked curiously.
As a new alchemist, all of Yun Chang's knowledge was merely at the theoretical stage. She had not actually practiced refining pills before, so she did not know what kind of alchemy skills Hu Chunlei had displayed before.
"Hu Chunlei's strength?" Hearing that, Yun Meng Yao sighed: "Very strong!" "Based on the state he is currently in, it can be said that only a handful of people on Danding Peak are able to surpass him!"
"What?!" Yun Chang immediately covered her mouth with her hands, preventing the scream from spreading.
Because, her aunt Yun Mengyao's evaluation of Hu Chunlei, was simply too high.
There were no less than a hundred alchemists in Danding Peak, but there were no more than a hundred that could surpass Hu Chunlei. This meant that Hu Chunlei's skill in pill refining had reached the pinnacle.
Wasn't it a little too much for a pill refiner of this level to give a new disciple like Chen Yu a demonstration?
Chen Yu, can you understand Hu Chunlei's method of pill refinement?
If Chen Yu were to finish refining it and Chen Yu was unable to understand anything, it would be truly embarrassing …
Just as Yun Chang's mind was running fast.
"Hu!"
The sound of hot air rushing could be heard.
Hu Chunlei's refinement was already complete.
"Bam!"
Hu Chunlei then slapped his right hand heavily onto the furnace, causing the lid of the furnace to instantly fly out.
"Come out!"
In the next moment, Hu Chunlei sucked towards the pill furnace with his left hand.
A few rays of light flashed by, accompanied by a burst of medicinal fragrance.
The pill was completed!
Hu Chunlei smiled confidently as he opened up his left palm. Three round Spirit Gathering Pills, each about the size of a longan, appeared in his palm.
"Good, good, good. Brother Ley, good job. Not only did you manage to form the pill in one go, but you even made an order with a rate of over 50%, and your pill rank has reached upper rank!"
When Hu Chunlei's two companions saw the medicinal pellets that Hu Chunlei had refined, they blurted out in excitement.
So it turned out that refining medicinal pills was an extremely complicated process.
The slightest negligence would lead to failure.
However, no one was perfect. Very few people were able to complete the 100% perfect refining process.
Thus, even though it was the same pill formula, the results of different apothecaries were very different.
Pill production rate and pill quality were two important criteria to distinguish between an apothecary's standards.
Only powerful apothecaries would be able to maintain a fifty percent chance of success or above, and thus, the quality of the pills would be at an upper tier.
For an ordinary apothecary, not to mention high quality pills, even if it were low quality pills, a thirty percent success rate would already be sufficient to burn incense!
Thus, when Hu Chunlei was able to concoct three high quality Spirit Gathering Pills with a success rate of sixty percent, everyone present was shocked.
His eyes slanted upwards at an angle of 45 degrees, his chin raised slightly, as if he was an expert from the outside world, he said to Chen Yu:
"How is it, did you manage to see anything?"
Hearing his words, the others also focused on him, they wanted to see what kind of shocking words Chen Yu would say.
"Err …" Since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you. " Chen Yu said indifferently: "If I'm not wrong, the method you use to refine the Qi Gathering Pellet should be divided into the Illuminating Shadow, Raise Flowers Into Trees, and other high grade refining techniques, such as the Heavenly Passage."
Hearing this, Hu Chunlei was slightly stunned, but in the next moment, he said with a complacent look:
"That's right, to be able to see through the technique I used, it means that you have some foresight!" "Just as you said, these methods are all high grade pill refining methods. As long as you can learn a thing or two, you will be able to successfully refine a pill like me …"
After saying that, Hu Chunlei pretended to shake his head regretfully, as if he was begging for defeat.
"As expected of Brother Ley, his bearing and self-restraint is truly extraordinary."
"Such an otherworldly temperament is inseparable from strength! If I didn't have strength, how could I have cultivated to have such temperament?!"
The two middle-aged men with Hu Chunlei started to flatter again.
